Dear All, 

We are actively seeking volunteers to participate as judges for the upcoming round of the Undergraduate Statistics Project Competition (USPROC). Twice a year, students have the opportunity to submit written projects from statistics/data science courses or capstone projects. The judging process would begin in January, following the December 20th submission deadline.

Would you be willing to serve as a judge for this round of submissions? If so, please sign up using the following link: 

https://forms.gle/qHDNaX7h9YxESi239

Based on the typical number of submissions, judging should not amount to more than 6 hours of work. It is done independently, with some e-mail discussion (when needed) to decide on prizes. To provide you with a timeline overview, we would send you projects to score in January 2024 and allow about a month to complete the judging. Each project is scored by multiple judges. If you are able to help, we will send further instructions closer to the submission deadline. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

If you have colleagues who teach undergraduate statistics courses or who advise undergraduate statistics research, please share the information in this email with them.
Your assistance in spreading the word about the USPROC competition and the opportunity to serve as a judge is highly appreciated!

Best, the USPROC  & eUSR Co-Chairs,

Jennifer Ward (Clark College)

Juanjuan Fan (San Diego State University)

Ciaran Evans (Wake Forest University)
